There are four questions to be put as a result of today’s business.
The first question is, that amendment S7M-00208.1, in the name of Jackie Baillie, which seeks to amend motion S7M-00208, in the name of Maree Todd, on summer of sport, be agreed to.
Amendment agreed to.
The next question is, that amendment S7M-00208.3, in the name of Gillian Mackay, which seeks to amend motion S7M-00208, in the name of Maree Todd, on summer of sport, be agreed to. Are we agreed?
Members: No.
We are not agreed—I knew that this summer of love could not continue for much longer—and will therefore move to a division.
We will suspend for a moment or two to allow access to the digital voting system.

The final question is, that motion S7M-00208, in the name of Maree Todd, on summer of sport, as amended, be agreed to.
Motion, as amended, agreed to,
That the Parliament welcomes Scotland's Summer of Sport programme, which aims to capitalise on the landmark summer of international sport taking place this year, with Scotland's men's football team competing in the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the Commonwealth Games taking place in Glasgow in July; recognises that it will provide opportunities for children and young people to take part in free and low-cost activities across the country; believes that providing positive, inclusive and inspiring sporting experiences for children and young people is one of the best things the people of Scotland can do to support physical, mental, and social health; hopes that these experiences will encourage lifelong participation in sport, whether through playing, or as future captains, coaches and volunteers across the sporting sector; calls on the Scottish Government to publish a plan and timetable for the provision of free swimming lessons for every primary school child; believes that to maintain participation in the long term, measures such as a £25 ticket cap for away football fans and support for local authorities to keep local sports venues open, including Aquatec Motherwell, are essential; recognises that sport should be accessible to all people in Scotland, irrespective of background or personal circumstances; recognises the commitments made to ensure physical education is supported in schools, including swimming lessons, and considers that sport in school and in extracurricular activities is the best way to ensure access for all young people; believes that physical education should reflect the sporting opportunities in local communities and local clubs, and considers that investment in sport should reflect the positive impact that it can have in the health of the nation and attainment in Scotland's schools.
That concludes decision time.
Meeting closed at 17:39.
